Victoria Counseling Services believes that combination of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology lead to a quick recovery of mental illness. Our clients are advised to either work with their therapist or get therapy with us as they continue their psychopharmacology. The mode of therapy prescribed is based on individuals diagnosis. Cognitive behavioral therapy, Supportive therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy are some of the many therapies that are available at Victoria Counseling Services.

Licensed Educational Psychologist

Do you want to learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills? Through psychotherapy, our clinicians help you learn about your condition, moods, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
Although there are many specific types of psychotherapy (also known as 'talk therapy') each has its own approach. Our clinicians work with you to determine what type of psychotherapy is right for you based on your individual situation.

Susan Costello, MA, LMHC, CPCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Since I have been providing psychotherapy for over 30 years, I have developed a wisdom and expertise that my clients find enormously helpful. I am supportive and empathetic yet challenging. I share my thoughts and guidance with my clients in psychotherapy, instead of just passively listening and nodding. Clients who want to feel like they have an active partner in their quest for personal growth appreciate the unique psychotherapy I offer, which can help individuals overcome depression, anxiety and family and relationship concerns. I have many tools in my toolbox and coach clients to learn how to help themselves. Sometimes we have to delve deeply and sometimes not but growth will occur!

Psychotherapist, Clinical Social Worker

Psychotherapy takes place in a trusting relationship where creativity occurs and something new can happen. As the therapist, an important part of my role is to create a potential space in which you develop your gifts and abilities. In the relationship of psychotherapy, you can experience the present and your past in a different way. You can let go of past hurts, develop new skills, and connect with your true nature to create and embody an enlivened sense of self.
I can help you do this.
